  • Azelaic Acid
    Azelaic Acid (FINACEA) Topical Foam 15% National Drug Monograph August 2016 VA Pharmacy Benefits Management Services, Medical Advisory Panel, and VISN Pharmacist Executives The purpose of VA PBM Services drug monographs is to provide a focused drug review for making formulary decisions. Updates will be made when new clinical data warrant additional formulary discussion. Documents will be placed in the Archive section when the information is deemed to be no longer current. FDA Approval Information Description/Mechanism of Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring C9-dicarboxylic acid that is found in plants Action (such as whole grain cereals), animals and humans. Azelaic acid has antiinflammatory, antioxidative and antikeratinizing effects. In rosacea skin, azelaic acid decreases cathelicidin levels and kallikrein 5 (KLK5) activity and possibly inhibits toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) expression.1 A 15% gel formulation has been marketed for rosacea, and 20% cream has been available for acne vulgaris. The newer foam formulation consists of an oil- in-water emulsion and was designed to have a higher lipid content than the gel for dry and sensitive skin. Indication(s) Under Review Topical treatment of inflammatory papules and pustules of mild to moderate in This Document rosacea. Dosage Form(s) Under Foam, 15% Review REMS REMS No REMS Postmarketing Requirements See Other Considerations for additional REMS information Pregnancy Rating Category B Executive Summary Efficacy There have been no head-to-head trials comparing the foam and gel formulations of azelaic acid in terms of safety, tolerability and efficacy in the treatment of papulopustular (PP) rosacea.. In two major randomized clinical trials, azelaic acid foam produced small benefits over vehicle foam in achieving Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) treatment success (NNTs of 9.2 and 11.5) and in reducing inflammatory lesion counts.

  • B-Lactams: Chemical Structure, Mode of Action and Mechanisms of Resistance
    b-Lactams: chemical structure, mode of action and mechanisms of resistance Ru´ben Fernandes, Paula Amador and Cristina Prudeˆncio This synopsis summarizes the key chemical and bacteriological characteristics of b-lactams, penicillins, cephalosporins, carbanpenems, monobactams and others. Particular notice is given to first-generation to fifth-generation cephalosporins. This review also summarizes the main resistance mechanism to antibiotics, focusing particular attention to those conferring resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins by means of production of emerging cephalosporinases (extended-spectrum b-lactamases and AmpC b-lactamases), target alteration (penicillin-binding proteins from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and membrane transporters that pump b-lactams out of the bacterial cell. Keywords: b-lactams, chemical structure, mechanisms of resistance, mode of action Historical perspective Alexander Fleming first noticed the antibacterial nature of penicillin in 1928. When working with Antimicrobials must be understood as any kind of agent another bacteriological problem, Fleming observed with inhibitory or killing properties to a microorganism. a contaminated culture of Staphylococcus aureus with Antibiotic is a more restrictive term, which implies the the mold Penicillium notatum. Fleming remarkably saw natural source of the antimicrobial agent. Similarly, under- the potential of this unfortunate event. He dis- lying the term chemotherapeutic is the artificial origin of continued the work that he was dealing with and was an antimicrobial agent by chemical synthesis [1]. Initially, able to describe the compound around the mold antibiotics were considered as small molecular weight and isolates it. He named it penicillin and published organic molecules or metabolites used in response of his findings along with some applications of penicillin some microorganisms against others that inhabit the same [4].

  • Who Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations
    WHO Technical Report Series 902 WHO EXPERT COMMITTEE ON SPECIFICATIONS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS A Thirty-sixth Report aA World Health Organization Geneva i WEC Cover1 1 1/31/02, 6:35 PM The World Health Organization was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations serving as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health. One of WHO’s constitutional functions is to provide objective and reliable information and advice in the field of human health, a responsibility that it fulfils in part through its extensive programme of publications. The Organization seeks through its publications to support national health strat- egies and address the most pressing public health concerns of populations around the world. To respond to the needs of Member States at all levels of development, WHO publishes practical manuals, handbooks and training material for specific categories of health workers; internationally applicable guidelines and standards; reviews and analyses of health policies, programmes and research; and state-of-the-art consensus reports that offer technical advice and recommen- dations for decision-makers. These books are closely tied to the Organization’s priority activities, encompassing disease prevention and control, the development of equitable health systems based on primary health care, and health promotion for individuals and communities. Progress towards better health for all also demands the global dissemination and exchange of information that draws on the knowledge and experience of all WHO’s Member countries and the collaboration of world leaders in public health and the biomedical sciences. To ensure the widest possible availability of authoritative information and guidance on health matters, WHO secures the broad international distribution of its publica- tions and encourages their translation and adaptation.
